Gone a foreign...

As much as we love the frozen streets of Brooklyn and its mountains of garbage covered ice and snow, it's been a rugged winter here, even by NYC standards. And it's not over yet, so we're going on vacation. Which means we might be a little slow on the reply for emails and such, so please bear with us. But we will be back in full force on Tuesday March 8th with a bag of deadly new releases, including more previously unreleased heat from fresh-baked two-track tapes of our favorite years, so hold tight! In the meantime, warm yourself up with Barry Brown and the Roots Radics, as those three killer 12-inches are in all shops now! Lock in because 2011 is gonna keep jumping off bigger and bigger...thanks for the support!

NB: In the production of these records, every effort has been made to utilize master tapes whenever possible. However, in some cases the master tape no longer exists or is in unusable condition. Therefore, some selections have been repressed from original stampers (where we felt their wear was not a major detriment), or have been carefully remastered from very rare but unfortunately imperfect original press vinyl copies. Even with a highly skilled and experienced reggae mastering engineer and the most modern audio soft/hardware, in some instances the results can still leave something to be desired, even for the most welcoming ears. In these cases we believe that the rarity, and more importantly, quality of the music will carry you through. Enjoy!
